Patient Testimonials
"Dr. Khanna is excellent. I have heard horror stories about people getting their backs fused. I was afraid that would happen to me also. I have had a previous surgery with a different surgeon, so I did have some comparison. Dr. Khanna tried all different options prior to surgery. When he did recommend fusion, he explained everything very well. He used non-medical terms, which I was able to understand. After the surgery, I was up and about right away. I have absolutely no pain now, and I still have all of my mobility. I am very happy with the surgery and would definitely recommend him." - R.R., Fusion Patient
"I was walking the next day, and have progressively improved since surgery to the point where I now have very little pain. I expect a complete recovery and total pain-free movement. I am a 100% satisfed with the surgery. It has gone as well as anyone can expect this procedure to go" - R.W., Lumbar Fusion Patient
"Dr. Khanna was very good at explaining everything to me. I had a revision decompression at L4-5 about six weeks ago. My leg pain is completely gone, and I only have minimal back pain now. I am completely satisfied with my care." -K.B., Decompression Patient

Patient Testimonials
"Dr. Tyndall is great. I had two herniated discs removed in my neck. It is still a little sore, but much better. I am able to function. I would highly recommend him. He listens to you and respects your opinion. He really cares about his patients. He is just phenomenal, and almost immediately puts you at ease." - E.S., Cervical Surgery Patient
"I feel Dr. Tyndall is a very good doctor. I have had a long time waiting for my surgery on my back and since surgery I am feeling better. I can say that I am glad to have Dr. Tyndall as my Spinal surgeon. Now I can tell people, who are experiencing the pain that I went through, all about him and to definitely have surgery, if needed. Thank you so much Dr. Tyndall." - K.P., Lumbar Fusion Patient
"I just wanted to say thank you and tell you how glad I am that I met you and chose you as my Spinal surgeon. I had been suffering from headaches and neck pain with numbness and tingling in my arms and hands. This had been going on so long that I had forgotten what it was like to feel good until May 2005. I had an ACDF C5-6 performed by you. My neck and I are so very happy! I returned to see you this year with pain in my hips and buttocks with leg weakness. Again, a prescription cleared this problem, and I already thought that it was much more severe. You are my medical hero, and I thank you for everything that you have done to make my life better." - D.E.S., Cervical Fusion Patient |
